Q: can liver enzymes stay elevated months after covid infection?

: They can stay elevated for quite some time. In fact, a recent study, which defined abnormal liver function with ALT or AST values above the upper limit of normal reported that 7.6% of patients still showed abnormal liver function at 12 months after discharge from hospital care. (Liu et al., 2021).
